BioMagResBank (BMRB) is the publicly-accessible depository for NMR results from peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids recognized by the International Society of Magnetic Resonance and by the IUPAC-IUBMB-IUPAB Inter-Union Task Group on the Standardization of Data Bases of Protein and Nucleic Acid Structures Determined by NMR Spectroscopy. In addition, BMRB provides reference information and maintains a collection of NMR pulse sequences and computer software for biomolecular NMR. Access to data in BMRB is free directly from its web site (URL http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu) and ftp site (ftp.bmrb.wisc.edu) and will remain so as public funding permits. The concept of a biomolecular NMR data bank was developed under a five-year research grant awarded to the University of Wisconsin-Madison from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. ...

Proteomik ist eine sehr junge Forschungsrichtung mit einer sehr viel älteren Wurzel: der Proteinanalytik. Diese befaßt sich mit der Aufklärung von molekularen Eigenschaften wie Aminosäuresequenz, dreidimensionale Struktur und biologische Aktivität individueller Proteine. Untersuchungsgegenstand der Proteomik ist demgegenüber die Gesamtheit aller Proteine in einer biologischen Probe im Moment der Untersuchung und bei den dafür gültigen Bedingungen. Dafür wurde vor etwa 7 Jahren der Begriff "Proteom" geprägt. Die DGPF versteht sich als Plattform, um die in Deutschland an verschiedenen Standorten und im Rahmen unterschiedlicher Programme angelaufenen Proteomik-Aktivitäten unter einem Dach zusammenzuführen und darüber hinaus die Proteomforschung durch national und international abgestimmte Initiativen voranzubringen. Durch eine übergreifende Koordination soll eine Bündelung und optimale Nutzung der nationalen Forschungs-kapazitäten herbeigeführt werden, um im weltweiten Wettbewerb an führender Stelle bestehen zu können. ...

M phase, also called as cell division, is the most crucial and fundamental affair of the eukaryotic cell cycle. After the chromosomes have been replicated during the S phase, the sister chromatids are separated and distributed into two daughter cells equally and faithfully. Also, each daughter cell receives the almost average and necessary intracellular constituents and organelles from the mother cell. Generally, cell division consists of six stages, including prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis. And the first five stages constituent mitosis. During mitosis, numerous proteins organize protein super-complexes at the three distinct regions of centrosome, kinetochore/centromere and cleavage furrow/midbody. Although many proteins have been identified to be localized on centrosome, kinetochore and/or midbody, an integrated resource on this area still remains not to be available. In this work, we have collected all proteins identified to be localized on kinetochore, centrosome, and/or midbody from two fungi (S. cerevisiae and S. pombe) and five animals, including C. elegans, D. melanogaster, X. laevis, M. musculus and H. sapiens. From the related literature of PubMed, numerous proteins have been manually curated to be localized on at least one of the sub-cellular localizations of kinetochore, centrosome and midbody. And to promise the quality of data, based on the rationale of "Seeing is believing", these proteins have been unambiguously observed under fluorescent microscope as directly supportive evidences. Then an integrated and searchable database MiCroKit - Midbody, Centrosome and Kinetochore has been established. The MiCroKit database is the first integrative resource to pin point most of identified components and related scientific information of midbody, centrosome and kinetochore. The version 1.0 of MiCroKit database was set up on Nov. 2nd, 2005, containing 1,065 unique proteins. The MiCroKit version 2.0 was released on Jun. 5th, 2006, with 1,120 entries. Currently, the MiCroKit 3.0 database was updated on July 9, 2009, containing 1,489 unique protein entries. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The membrane organization and subcellular location of a protein can provide information about its functional role. Historically, these data have been difficult to produce on a large scale for higher eukaryotic organisms. However, recent advances in membrane organization prediction methods and high-throughput subcellular localization assays have made it possible to generate these datasets. LOCATE is a curated, web-accessible database that houses data describing the membrane organization and subcellular localization of proteins from the FANTOM3 Isoform Protein Sequence set. Membrane organization is predicted by the high-throughput, computational pipeline MemO. The subcellular locations of selected proteins from this set were determined by a high-throughput, immunofluorescence-based assay and by manually reviewing over 1700 peer-reviewed publications. The results of the MemO pipeline and the subcellular localization methods are stored in the database with supporting information including a graphical depiction of the membrane organization juxtaposed with InterPro-predicted features and links to several external databases. The database is searchable by subcellular location, protein class, descriptive keyword, and sequence similarity. The data are retrievable in human- and machine-readable formats and in batch. ...

The Membrane Protein Data Bank (MPDB) is an online, searchable, relational database of structural and functional information on integral, anchored and peripheral membrane proteins and peptides. Data originates from the Protein Data Bank and other databases, and from the literature. Structures are based on X-ray and electron diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance and cryoelectron microscopy. The MPDB is searchable online by protein characteristic, structure determination method, crystallization technique, detergent, temperature, pH, author, etc. Record entries are hyperlinked to the PDB and Pfam for viewing sequence, three-dimensional structure and domain architecture, and for downloading coordinates. Links to PubMed are also provided. ... [Information of the supplier]
TCDB is a curated database of factual information from over 10,000 published references. The database contains about 3,000 protein sequences. The database details a comprehensive IUBMB approved classification system for membrane transport proteins known as the Transporter Classification (TC) system. The TC system is analogous to the Enzyme Commission (EC) system for classification of enzymes, but incorporates phylogenetic information additionally. TCDB is operated by the Saier Lab Bioinformatics Group. ... [Information of the supplier]
